Newly appointed Milan boss Clarence Seedorf is keen to strengthen his squad by this January.

Sneijder was linked with Milan a few months back. Manchester United and Chelsea too were keen on getting the services of the Dutch midfielder, although he had expressed his commitment to Galatasaray on numerous occasions.

Seedorf still hopes to persuade his fellow Dutchman to join him at the San Siro this month, in what could be a slightly controversial move given the player’s previous ties with former club Inter Milan.

Sneijder became one of the best midfielders in the world during his time with Inter, though a drought in his form saw him leave the club for a move to Turkey last January.
